Proposed street Car Track
Changes.

ChaUgeSs
In the projected change Of the He'll.
man franchise of single track to q
double track for the whole length of the
City Railroad Company's Ronte. Some
remarkable features would be the result,
il the franchise in it's altered condition
receives the approval of the Council.
The most remarkable are the following:
The two.horse track would continue
down Spring street from the Nadeau
He-se until it rejoined Main street op.
posite the Temple Block. Of course, it
would be double track. The Central
Railroad Company's cars would run
down First street on combination
track, over the ground now used only
by the two.horsc line, and turns off into
Main street. The greatest change of
all would be on Nam street, between
First street and the Plaza. Here each
track would be composed of three rails,
so that these tracks could be used both
by single horse, or narrow guage. and
two horse, or broad guage cars. There
would be two tracks, necessitating six
rail, one from uptown and the other for
downtown cars. These tracks would be
utilized by the Main street and Agricul-
turl Park Company's cars from First
street to Temple Block, by the Boyle
Heights cars from Temple Block to Ar
cadia street, and by the City Railroad
Companv from First street to Temple
Block, and thence to the Plaza. The
rails of the combination tracks would be
fiat and sufficiently far apart to prevent
the danger of vehicles getting their
| wheels damaged whilst crossing.

Halr.Breadth EScane.

A hair.breadth escape oncurred at
Barstow when the great Pullman excur.
sion, on Monday, came round the curve.
A locomotive was attempting to run off
the main track onto a sidetrack when
the driving wheels left the rails and left
the engine on the track in front of a
rushing train of nine Pullman cars filled
with passengers. As soon as the engin-
eer of the Pullman train saw the fearful
danger every effort was made to stop
the train, and it came to halt within
ten feet of the derailed engine, and 400
passengers drew again their natural
breath.

A Narrow Escape.

Yesterday as street car was attempt.
ing to cross the track of the Southern
Pacific Company, on San Fernando
street, a locomotive attempted to cross
at the same time. As the engine was
about to collide, and the horses had
whirled round and stopped the street
car. the piercing screams of the lady
passengers arrested the atten ntion of the
engineer and the train was stopped just
about two seconds before an appalling
calamity seemed inevitable. Who is to
blame for this fearful risk and fright is
not known, but certain it is that flagman
is necessary at that crossing with police
authority to prevent similar scenes.
